The Appeals Process

Upon your appeal, you will be contacted by a county appraiser to review your valuation. After a review if you are still not satisfied with your valuation, a hearing will be set for you to formally meet with the Board of Equalization to present information you feel justifies a change in value.

Following the hearing, you will be notified of the decision of the Board of Equalization. You may appeal to Circuit Court within 30 days from the date the Board of Equalization notifies you of their final decision.

In order to preserve your right to carry the appeal process to Circuit Court, taxes must be paid by December 31, or a bond filed in Circuit Court double the amount of taxes due.
